Is there something new but not too complicated to increase the speed in Python or C++?
I have a complex logic for selecting combinations of a private key, so individually the keys are generated quickly or processed quickly.
But if you combine them into one program, the speed drops to 500,000 per second at best.
Is it possible to increase the speed by 10 times without using a GPU?

What's new and complicated is forgetting the basics and switching to "let's compute public keys from scratch, because why not".

I always struggle to understand why would one choose to deliberately drop the speed by a factor of hundred or more, while dismissing less than a fraction of the keys they want to scan

It just makes no sense. I am not talking about concrete drops in speed, but inevitable mathematical slowdowns, since exchanging point addition with point multiplication isn't something that can ever be run "fast" even if you set up a billion GPUs to do the work that would have been done by a million GPUs.
